Debate Over Knies Hit: Clean or Dirty? 

Hey there! I just read about that hit on Matthew Knies by Zach Whitecloud, and wow, what a controversial moment! It seems like every time there's a big hit, the debate over what's clean and what's dirty just ignites. Personally, I think the NHL really needs to step up its game when it comes to player safety and consistency in officiating.

Knies is a key player for the Maple Leafs, and with their injury woes, losing him could be a huge blow. The fact that the referees downgraded the potential major penalty to just a minor for roughing is baffling. It feels like there's a lack of clarity in how these hits are judged.

I get that hockey is a physical game, but we need to protect our players, especially when it comes to head contact. The league has to find a way to enforce stricter penalties for hits that target the head, or else we're going to keep seeing these debates and, worse, more injuries. What do you think? Do you believe the hit was clean or dirty?
